IN EUROPEAN FOLKLORE, the Krampus is St. Nikolaus’s dark servant—a hairy, horned, supernatural beast whose pointed ears and long, slithering tongue gave misbehavers the creeps! The Krampus terrorized the bad until they promised to be good. His escapades were delineated by skilled and imaginative Old World craftsmen, printed on penny postcards and disseminated throughout Europe.
The rare examples featured in Last Gasp’s line of Krampus products are, perhaps, the best history has left to offer. There are 3 new Krampus releases this year:
